Summary: Kai and Shanna (an OC) are getting married, Rei's being stalked and Tala's moving in with his girlfriend. Is it destined to be a rainy day or will the sun come out and play?
Chapter One: Wedding Plans
Kai squeezed the hand that he was holding onto as he looked through the pictures of the churches that April had come up with on such a short notice. Just goes to show you how thrilled April was with Kai's choice to marry Shanna.
Kai turned to look at Shanna out of the corner of his eyes, still against showing his feelings openingly. Shanna was beautiful, there was no getting around that. Her black hair was straight, and fell around her shoulders, framing her face, making her look like a dark angel. Shanna's eyes were green and always full of mischief and Kai had to admit that he would never want it any other way. Shanna only came upto Kai's shoulder but Kai didn't care, he thought that Shanna was that perfect height.
Come to think of it, Kai thought that everything that Shanna was and stood for was perfect. There wasn't anything wrong with his dark angel, not at all. Everything she did made him smile, even if he didn't want to admit it. There wans't anything that Shanna wouldn't do for him and there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for her. Which was why Kai thought that marriage was the best thing for the both of them. The next step; the next test. The next thing for Shanna to excel in and for Kai to watch her do in awe.
Shanna noticed that Kai was staring at her and turned to look at him, their eyes catching for a moment before they both looked away like love-sick teenagers. Which, Kai supposed, was exactly what they were and there was no way around in. If Kai had his way, they would remain love-sick teenagers if this was the way that love-sick teenagers were to feel everyday of their lives.
"Anyways. The next thing we have to figure out, after we look for a church-" April started and then looked at Kai and Shanna and shook her head. "You two are supposed to be listening to me. How am I supposed to help you if you don't even pay attention to me?" April pretended to be insulted but Kai could tell that she was truly pleased that Kai had found as much happiness as it was obvious he had.
Shanna turned a light color of red, a color that Kai thought suited her exceptionally well. Then again, Kai thought that she looked exceptionally well in anything, that was just the way that Shanna was. She was beautiful and there was no way around it. Even April, Tala, Rei and Lolli agreed with Kai on this. Of course, Rei thought that Lolli was even more beautiful and Tala thought that April was a goddess but that wasn't the point. They all believed, at a mutual, general level, that Shanna was beautiful and that was all that Kai cared about.
Kai realized that Shanna had said something and he brought himself out of his daydream stage to hear the last bit of it. "-go to that store for it." Shanna looked over at Kai, expecting him to add his own opinion. Of course Kai couldn't do this because he didn't know what had happened. "Don't you?" Shanna prompted.
Kai shrugged, feeling his own cheeks turn red as he realized he had been caught in the act of not listening. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Kai lowered his eyes so that he didn't have to look either of the girls in the face. "What were we talking about?"
April giggled and rolled her eyes. "You know, I have work to do at the office anyways. I'll let you two be alone for a while and I'll come back later when Kai's better able to pay attention to what's going on around him." April leaned down and gave Shanna a hug. "Congraduations Shanna. You'll have a great wedding, even if I have to single-handedly make sure that it turns out to be a good one."
Shanna smiled. "You won't, I'll help and so will Kai." Shanna returned April's hug. "Thanks for all you're doing though." Shanna smiled. "This will be the best wedding I have ever been to at this rate."
April nodded and looked at her watch and sighed. "I really should be going. I have a report I need to have filed before tomorrow morning and it's a long one." April ruffled Kai's hair and then turned to leave. "Bye."
Kai watched April leave and smiled, turning to Shanna and placing a kiss on her nose. "I love you. Did I ever tell you that?" Kai nuzzled her neck, not letting Shanna answer and pulled her up to a standing position. "Come on, the bedroom's feeling upset because we haven't used it for such a long time." Kai purred when Shanna followed him upstairs and closed their bedroom door behind them so that they'd have a bit more privacy for the acts that they were going to preform.

Rei sighed as he signed yet another fan's picture and posed with her so that she could have a picture to fuss over for the rest of her obsession with him. Kai was lucky, he had gotten out of this. Then again, he was getting married, he probably deserved to get out of this sort of thing. Rei sighed, it had been a long day. All he wanted to do was to go home, eat the wonderful meal that Lolli had promised him for supper tonight, cuddle with her on the couch while they watched some movie together and then go to bed, no questions asked.
Rei realized he was being a little bit selfish. He had always wanted to go to these kind of things when he had been younger so that he could watch his latest hero beyblade with people and get his picture tooken with the prior mentioned hero. He shouldn't feel a sense of hatred towards people that were doing the same thing that he had done most of his life. It was stupid. Rei probably just needed a vacation from this for a little while and then he'd be fine. Or so he hoped.
Rei stretched his legs and waved a final goodbye to his fans and then exited out the backdoor with Max, Kenny and Tyson. With a quick goodbye to the guys, he turned to the entrance to the alley and ran out it, desperate to get home, wanting to feel that warmth that only Lolli could bring to his body. Rei smiled as he thought about it.
Someone was following him. Rei could sense it before he even saw the person behind him. Obviously it was a crazed fan that hadn't made it to the table before they had to call it quits. Oh well, Rei would make it up to her later, maybe tomorrow or something. Most likely a fan like that would find him before he would be able to find her. With that thought in mind, Rei picked up his pace, taking a left and climbing the steps that led to his apartment building.
Rei unlocked the main door to the lobby and then closed it and went to the elevator, not caring that the stairs would get him more exercise, just wanting to get upstairs as fast as he could and with the fatigue Rei felt at the moment, he could take him hours to climb up those stairs. Rei wasn't into that long of a wait and so promptly pressed the elevator button.
The girl was in the building, Rei's sensed told him. Again he didn't have to look to know that it was that same girl and that she had stopped by the front door as to not alert Rei of her position. Too bad she had anyways, Rei senses had been increased by the fact that he had to deal with these kinds of fans all of the time and by the fact that he refused to have a bodyguard.
Rei quickly stepped into the elevator and closed the door, letting his forehead fall against the elevator door. He couldn't wait until he got to Lolli, this job really was giving him a headache. Maybe Lolli would want to go up to that cabin again, that was a nice place, far away from people. A weekend at that place might just get Rei back up on his feet, not to mention the fact that it would be a prime excuse to have to spend a lot of 'personal' time with his girlfriend and that was always good.
Rei decided that over supper he would ask Lolli if she would go with him to the cabin. Rei firmly set his mind on that and then pressed the button for his floor and stood back to watch the numbers change on the elevator dial.

April checked her watch for the thrieth time since she had arrived in the room, fifteen minutes ago. It wasn't that she was bored with what she was doing, this was the most interesting report she had to do in the past two years of working at her brother's business. It was just she was supposed to cook something for Tala tonight and she didn't want to leave it too late or she may have to disappoint him by ordering a pizza like she had done for the past three days. Plus, Tala wanted to get some of those boxes in their new apartment unpacked before they brought more in and April had no free time to do that tomorrow so she had to get it done today.
April closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind so that she could finish this report but she found that she couldn't do it. There was just too many other things on her mind and there wasn't anything she could do about it. Kai's wedding, Tala and her moving in together, this report, that stupid place she was supposed to go and check up on in a couple of days plus countless other things that she was expected to do around here. It was enough to make any normal girl drop to her knees and beg for mercy. However April wasn't a normal girl and she wasn't about to ask for mercy, even if she did need it.
April stretched her arms, trying to knock the kinks out of them and then turned back to the computer, typing out her report in a way that resembled a robot. A robot with no feelings or emotions, a robot that could do anything on time and was expected to do everything because she could do so. April was beginning to feel more and more like this rebot but she wasn't going to stop now. No one knew that she was under so much stress and she wasn't about to tell anyone either. Especially not Tala.
Tala, his name made April feel weak in the knees. She loved his and she couldn't wait until they were finally actually living together under the same roof. It was be such an approvement over having to live so far apart. Practically the whole city had separated them before so this was a definite change. April smiled as she thought about it, she couldn't wait for the moving to be over. Of course that was going to take a few more days but it would be worth it to wake up every morning to the feeling of Tala's arms wrapped around her.
April hurriedly finished her report, read over it once and then sent it to her grandfather, and then turned off her computer and rushed out the door to her car, hoping that she would be able to get to her apartment before Tala did and that she would be able to cook him dinner. God she missed doing simple stuff like that. Kai and her grandfather was retiring next year and so he was putting more responsibilities on their heads since soon they would all be. April thought this was a good idea but god was it tiring.
April turned on the radio and blared it as she headed for her house, going so fast that she was sure she was speeding but she didn't care. All she wanted to do was go home and forget about all of her responsibilities for the time being. All of the ones that didn't involve Tala at least.
{A/N: What do you think of the first chapter? Kinda all over the place isn't it. Oh well, hopefully the next chapter brings it back together. ^_^ Well see you next chapter}
